Common Primrose 'Alba Plena'

Keep in mind when planting that Alba Plena is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Planting Alba Plena in sandy, loamy and clay soil with a ph of between 5.6 and 6.0 is ideal for as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Alba Plena about 105 days before your last frost date.

As Alba Plena is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.

This variety tends to be ready for harvesting by early spring.
